COVER \/ PAGE 1.<\/strong> Rasputin IV in battle.<\/p>\n

PAGE 2. <\/strong>Moira just before her powers emerged.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not exactly a flashback, because this is narrated by Enigma<\/strong>, who is outside normal time. This is Moira MacTaggert <\/strong>in her tenth life, reliving childhood as she always has to, while waiting to be old enough to try her newest idea. Enigma is apparently going to offer her another option that she hasn’t thought of – possibly another way out of being stuck in a time loop. (Though note that Moira apparently never tries to end the loop by committing suicide before her powers emerge.) More of that later.<\/p>\n

We don’t get a clear shot of Moira’s mother, but this is Lady Kinross<\/strong>. She has<\/em> been seen on panel before – she can be seen from behind in some of Moira’s earlier lives in House of X<\/em> #2 – but she’s never done anything significant.<\/p>\n

PAGES 3-4. <\/strong>Enigma’s montage.<\/em><\/p>\n
